GYPSYWOLF is a fearless feminine wild energy that is the untamable soul of singer songwriter Sarah Agajanian. It is the inspiration which drives her, and the passion that creates her beautiful, soulful, and sexy music. It yearns to impact others and spread its voice. Sarah (GYPSYWOLF) does just that in her BRAND NEW single and debut music video “MEANT TO BE”.

Sarah Agajanian GYPSYWOLF is quickly becoming the buzzed about new artist—performing at Los Angeles hotspots Harvelles, The Viper Room, Bronson Bar, Witzend, and Bar Lubitsch. Writing her own lyrics and performing on the keys, she brings a fresh and delicious energy to singer/songwriting and to the indie music scene. We would love to set up an interview with you and Sarah to discuss her debut single and music video for MEANT TO BE that has the in-crowd vibing at the seams.

"Meant to Be" is the debut single release by the raspy, sultry, seductive, LA based singer/songwriter/pianist, Sarah Agajanian. An artist in many forms, Sarah’s passionate lyrics, combined with her ethereal melodies and hypnotic stage presence, will captivate audiences and fans of all ages. “Meant to Be” is an expression of the journey of becoming aware of the voice inside that leads us to our hearts, and is the first song and music video release from Sarah’s upcoming genre defining project, GYPSYWOLF.

The project GYPSYWOLF was born of a fateful moment in Sarah’s life; awakening her to a new beginning and a new perception of life. Stopped in traffic while driving home to Los Angeles on a warm summer night, Sarah gazed up at the bright full moon above her. Her mind wandered, feeling the endless possibilities in the stars. In a blink of an eye, everything changed... A speeding car slammed into her from behind at 65 MPH, sending her into an instant black out. Minutes later she awoke from a dream with no recollection of where she was or what was happening, trapped in a crumpled car with no escape. Flames erupted from the engine, engulfing the car in seconds. Struggling for survival, she knew she couldn’t escape on her own... someone needed to save her. From out of nowhere, a crowbar pried the car door open and a man she had never seen before rescued her from the now blazing inferno. As she watched her car burn to the ground, knowing she could have been inside it, she stared up at the full moon which shined down on her. Her spirit was strangely calm and she was more aware than ever before, that she was alive. Escaping death by mere seconds, her thoughts were clear, “This isn’t the end. I am just beginning. There is too much music and life to be made.” From this point on Sarah knew the name of her project would be “GYPSYWOLF”. The power, the strength, and the purpose filled her heart soul and being, and her message was clear.

With National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) approaching, I receive this news to share with you: the new, innovative one-stage breast reconstruction procedure. As seen on “Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers”, this procedure allows one’s breasts to be reconstructed at the time of mastectomy in one single surgery.

Recently named one of Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Lisa Cassileth is able to reconstruct the breasts at the same time which eliminates the risks of multiple surgeries and, more importantly, helps minimize the sense of loss.


Dr. Lisa B. Cassileth is one of the few female plastic surgeons currently practicing in Beverly Hills, California. She brings her patients impeccable surgical techniques, an artist's aesthetic vision, and an essential feminine perspective.

Dr. Cassileth offers a wide range of plastic surgery procedures to enhance and refine the face, breasts and body. She performs leading-edge techniques that achieve exceptional aesthetic results, including SlimLipo and breast implant revision surgery. She also pioneered the Cassileth One-Stage Breast Reconstruction technique, which eliminates the need for multiple surgeries in breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy. Click here for her C.V.

Setting a New Standard in Breast Cancer Patient Care:

With more women than ever choosing to undergo mastectomy for the treatment or prevention of breast cancer, the desire for a better type of reconstruction has grown. With Dr. Cassileth's innovative technique (which was published in the July 2011 Annals of Plastic Surgery), breasts can be reconstructed at the time of mastectomy in one single surgery, allowing women to awaken from mastectomy surgery with intact breasts, and minimal or no scarring.

She says: "It's exciting and rewarding to provide a new choice for breast cancer patients who are undergoing mastectomy. Reconstructing the breasts at the same time eliminates the risks of multiple surgeries and, more importantly, helps minimize the sense of loss."

The Advantages of Cassileth One-Stage Breast Implant Reconstruction:

- Only one surgery – lowers overall risk, decreases cost, and minimizes discomfort
- Avoids months of painful tissue expansion
- When you wake up from your mastectomy surgery, you will have whole breasts
- The risks are the same or better than traditional tissue expander technique
- Patients enjoy beautiful new breasts that look natural and full

Dr. Cassileth performs over 200 breast reconstructive cases per year, including nipple reconstruction, reconstruction implant revisions, and fat grafting. More than half of those 200 cases are primary breast reconstruction done at the time of the mastectomy.

Click the link to check out the procedure on national television program “Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers” and to see incredible before and after photos, click here.

Additional Treatments:

In addition to surgical techniques, Dr. Cassileth offers her patients a wide range of non-surgical anti-aging treatment options, including Botox®, Juvederm, and laser skin rejuvenation. She also offers patients a preview of their results with the state-of-the-art VECTRA 3-D imaging system.



Why the Technique is Different:

The Current Standard of Care – Two Surgeries

Traditionally, breast reconstruction with implants requires two surgeries: during the first surgery, a mastectomy is performed, and a tissue expander is inserted. Over several months, patients have weekly, painful injections to inflate the expander and stretch the chest muscle. In the second surgery the breast implant is inserted. Patients are often left with disfigured breasts and large, ugly scars.

Dr. Cassileth’s Innovative Procedure – One Surgery

The mastectomy is performed through a small incision (rather than the traditional, long cut across the chest). Using a collagen matrix, Dr. Cassileth then designs and constructs an Internal Bra that will hold and support the breast implant.

Dr. Cassileth’s uniquely designed, hand-tailored Internal Bra enables her to place the implant and create the perfect breast shape and size, all in one surgery. Patients wake up from surgery with beautiful, new breasts. This technique lowers overall risk, decreases cost, and minimizes discomfort.

Welcome to the Scentsy Review & Giveaway! The review was done by Rantings from Lil n Hail's Mom's Blog. All views are my own , and facebook, twitter, pinterest etc, are not affliates of this review, or giveaway. This prize is donated and No More Soot is responsible for the prize and shipment.

Review:

As I am sitting here my house is full of the amazing smell of white tea and cactus. This smells amazing! Such a light smell nothing too strong, it fills our house and it feels welcoming. That fits right in with the warmer, the pineapple is a symbol of hospitality. The warmer fits in with any room in our house, a light tan color it goes with everything. Our little ones are not attracted to a flame burning, it camouflages as a "lamp" that they should not touch :)

The scent last as an even burn , and out of all the scents she gave me my favorite was central park pralines. I love the smell for fall, it's warm and reminds me of home at thanksgiving or Christmas for the holidays.

I am impressed as this is the first time I have worked with Scentsy, I will be going back to get more bars, and when the kids are a little older I will be getting a wall plug in like the one I am giving away here today!

Dinair Airbrush Makeup Gets Misty backstage at the Primetime Governors Ball




Behind Hollywood’s most prestigious event, occupying the backstage of the 57,600-square-foot space inside the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, Dinair Airbrush Makeup returned for the second year in a row to the Primetime Emmy Awards Governors Ball for hair and makeup.

Founded by award-winning international makeup artist and airbrush authority Dina Ousley, Dinair is the entertainment and beauty industry’s preferred airbrush makeup providing flawless, natural and high-definition coverage since 1981.

This year, Dina and her team of twenty-plus, created the look for the entertainers and performers at the official after-party for the 64TH annual Emmy Awards inspired by the décor theme, “A Romantic Rhapsody in Red.”

Dina hand dyed and created more than ten dramatic 1960s style hair motifs for the singing group “The Red Hots” and triplet violinists “Alizma.” Each hairpiece mimicked rose petals and perfectly highlighted the explosion of red in the venue. Using their signature personal airbrush compressor, Dinair also applied gorgeous show-stopping makeup for the performers.


“We married the old with the new,” said Ousley about the never-before-seen rose bud hairstyle. “And look, it paid off!”

Dinair is currently used and distributed in salons and by professional makeup artists worldwide in more than 60 countries and headquartered in Southern California.
